First, what does ratgdo and rat-ratgdo stand for? Ratgdo stands for Rage Against The Garage Door Opener. Rat-ratgdo stands for
Rage Againts The - Rage Against The Garage Door Opener

This video is about building a DIY ratgdo board. I go into detail on the schematics, board layout, testing, and showcasing the funtionality.
I love what the ratgdo project has done and the information they have provided. I just don't have the money for the price they want for their boards so I set out to make my own. I was able to find schematics and information to assist and I got it to work!

This will not only help you eliminate the reliance on myQ and give you a workaround, it will help you put your control of your garage door in YOUR hands. There is nothing wrong with using myQ for those that don't tinker like I do and those that aren't building a more "secure" home, and for those that don't use Home Assistant. However, for those that want to do things themselves or want to take another step in grabbing back just a little more of their home security, or simply using Home Assistant or another home automation server, the ratgdo and rat-ratgdo projects are just what you need! These devices integrate incredibly well and simply with Home Assistnat. I used ESPHome to integrate mine.
